Here is an example.
3 people in a game
p1 bets 5
p2 bets 5
p3 bets 10
p1 pulls, lives
p2 pulls, lives
p3 pulls, dies.
p2 is awarded 6 points
p1 is awarded 4 points
p3 loses 10 points
In this game player 3 is able to lose all 10 points but is able to earn at most 10 points.
Now if player 3 had bet 5 points instead, p3 could at most lost 5 points, but could gain 6+. You are more likely to lose than win, and even when you win you get a greater proportion relative to your bet by betting less.
In other words there is absolutely no reason anyone should be betting 10 instead of 5 in this scenario because you get screwed. Yes for a single game you could potentially earn more total points, but you probably play roulette more than just once and like gambling at a casino the odds are not in your favor betting big and you will lose over the long haul.
Obviously this only applies to roulette matches involving 3+ people
